Lloyd Welch. Jr. goes on trial in April for murder in the deaths of Sheila Lyon and Katherine Lyon. The sisters were last seen walking to Wheaton Plaza in Montgomery County in 1975. They’ve never been found.
Prosecutors say in documents posted by WSET-TV that if Welch is convicted, two women will testify at his sentencing that they got into Welch’s car near that mall in 1975. Prosecutors say the women sensed they were in danger and had to roll down the car windows “to avoid abduction.”

Thank you for posting this. It was HUGE news in DC back then. The accused is from a family of criminals and pedophiles who all knew about it and stonewalled the cops for 40 years. They're probably buried in the family's acreage somewhere and never to be found.
Huge in Anne Arundel county too. Then a year later the young boy Arthes was kidnapped in Baltimore county. He was found alive thankfully days later in VA. His abductor was suspected from nearly the beginning, Arthur Goode a Spring Grove patient. He killed a boy in VA and in FL and was executed in FL for that murder. I remember people thinking he may have been responsible for the Lyon's girl disappearance.
I remember those two little girls , I was 10 yrs old , and had been to the Wheaton mall many times ,hopefully now the family may have some closure,
